Inter-State’s outstanding Plum varieties 
BEAR YOUNG - BEAR HEAVILY - DELICIOUS 
Scarcely any fruit has been improved as much in the past few 
years as has the plum. Bears younger and more heavily. The 
fruit is larger, with a wonderful flavor. We offer below the finest, 
outstanding varieties. Plant Plums 12 to 15 feet apart, in a group 
so they can cross-pollenize, thus greatly increasing the ‘crop.

F110 Allred Plum—This new plum was named Allred because the 
tree, the foliage, the flowers and the fruit are all purple-red. Freestone 
and fine quality. Bears regularly. It is attractive enough to plant in 
your lawn but of course will bear more fruit if planted near other 
plums. Hardy to Central Iowa. 
F 102 New Damson—This is an improved strain over the ordinary 
Damson. The blue plums are medium size of finest quality. Free-stone. 
A heavy regular bearer. Ripens in August. Hardy to northern Iowa. 
“F 103 Green Gage—The sweetest eating and canning plum, it is just 
full of sweet, sugary flavor. Large, greenish-yellow fruits, freely pro- 
duced. Free-stone. Ripens in early September. It is not suited to ex- 
tremely cold sections like northern Iowa. 
‘F 104 Pipestone—A new Plum from Minnesota. The fruit is immense 
size, the largest plum we have ever grown. It has a very attractive 
color, red with a golden blush. The flesh is yellow, juicy and excellent 
quality. Fine for eating and cooking. Bears very young and heavily, 
ripening in August. Very hardy. 
F 105 Red Coat—This also comes from Minnesota and is one of our 
best plums for canning. It is perfectly free-stone, the stone falling right 
out when you cut the fruit in half. The fruit is large, prune-shaped, a 
bright red color, good quality. A healthy vigorous grower that bears 
young and every year. Ripens in August. Very hardy. 
‘F 106 Stanley—This new plum is rapidly becoming the most popular 
of all plums. Large, dark-blue, prune-shaped fruits. The rich yellow 
flesh is firm, sweet and delicious flavor. Exceptionally fine for eating 
fresh and canning. A heavy, regular bearer. Ripens in early Sep- 
tember. Free-stone. Hardy up to central Iowa. Exceptionally fine.

genius from South Dakota, this is undoubtedly the richest flavored of 
all plums—a sweet, somewhat spicy and tangy flavor that is un- 
equalled. The fruit is quite large, a beautiful apricot color with very 
firm, yellow flesh. Perfect free-stone. Fine for eating and canning. 
Ripens in August. Very hardy. A good pollinizer for other plums.

Blueberries, GROW THEM YOURSELF 
We have been fruiting these for several years. When we planted them 
we mixed about 144 Peat Moss with the soil. Or you can mix a few 
handfuls of regular sulphur with the soil when planting. You can get 
sulphur at your drug store. These are the popular cultivated Blue- 
berries with large berries. Eat them fresh or for pies and wonderful for 
freezing. The bushes themselves are attractive with white flowers in 
the spring and waxy green foliage which colors red in the fall. We sell 
only the three varieties together because they must be planted in a 
cluster, 4 to 6 feet apart, so they can cross-pollenize. These are 3-year 
old plants, 14 to 20 inches tall, and they generally start bearing the 
next year after planting. We have selected the 3 most popular varieties.
